I wear glasses, and having to wear a second pair of glasses over my glasses just to see a movie fills me with burning rage.   After I saw Prometheus I couldn't decide whether it really was as bad a film as it seemed or if I was just still angry about sitting in the gloom for 2 hours like a six-eyed freak.

Lee is old enough to be Hurt, McKellen and Stewart's dad (though he probably isn't).   If you work long enough and you're in everything, and you're frequently the best bit of what you're in, then you get elder statesman status and people will want to listen to your metal albums.

The second one was a bout a guy who saw the first film and tried to emulate it at home.   The BBFC rejected it for classification IN CASE IT CAME TRUE.

It's some kind of extension of the thinking that gets board games made into action movies.   Familiarity or recognition is apparently the best that marketers set out to achieve these days, and I suppose it must be working for them.

I was in the US recently and I realised you guys don't seem to have anything like what we call 'the watershed' n the UK.   Basically we see little or nothing in the way of horror, nudity or cursing before 9pm (kids bed time), and afterward it's all fair game.   In the US TV I saw, anything seemed to be on at any time,

I really wanted to like Paul but it just wasn't funny enough.   There's one really good gag where Pegg asks "would you like to go?" and Wiig misunderstands and just walks away.   I think that's the only bit where I laughed out loud and there's a bit in the dvd extras where we see her corpsing at the gag.

If you like.

The question is, do want if who it?

I'd forgotten these were consecutive episodes.   Eating the dog was a new high in terms of it-seemed-necessary-at-the-time awfulness, and then the Wedding episode is just deliriously horrifying.

Funny how people see the show differently.   I always manage to miss some episodes one way or another, but this ep was probably my favourite of the series.

I seem to remember them going out of their way to clarify that they definitely wouldn't be greenlighting any more original ideas, this was a one-time deal.

And now every film trailer comes with the same context-free Edith Piaf bwaamps.   This is either evidence of chronic unoriginality in Hollywood or that I'M STILL IN THE DREAM!

The fact that it was always supposed to be a tv show (as is obvious from things like the 'zombie kill of the week' gag) explains Reese's confusion.

I was a bit puzzled by this.   Getting enraged by line calls is pretty much what John McEnroe is famous for here in the UK, it's like his defining personality trait.   Why shouldn't Serena Williams attract the same kind of attention, particularly if she was actually threatening people?

She looks more like Minnie Mouse.   It's the big eyes, pointy nose and giant furry ears that does it.

As Gary X said above, it could be a result of the mutagens from the first film.   One disadvantage of the transition from comic book to screen is that superheros often get very little time to do any regular superheroing between origins and the end of their arc.

I remember thinking it was the lowest thing the character had ever done.   Just trying to get a guy fired for his own convenience.   Off the top of my head I can't think of a time that Mark is less sympathetic; he's usually reprehensible in a more pathetic sort of way.

I watched the first few episodes and I think it suffers from that comparison.   I remember something bad happened and one of the characters said "Hey, this isn't Rampart".

The original study was actually done on military people in arctic survival gear (hence its general inapplicability), so in that pic Jon probably is losing a substantial amount of heat from his head.

Hannibal, is that you?
